Damn That was a wicked storm !!!!!
Glad everyone is OK. Like Pro said cool sunset though.
I've been lucky, there have been storms roll through here and sometimes I didn't get nothing more than a few drops of rain, other times a lot of rain no damage and places 5 to 10 miles away by the way the crow flies got hit hard like GIR did.
Go figure

Sure hope Rocky is holdin' on. Tornado sirens are goin' off in Joliet as i type this for south western Joliet. That's very close to Rockdale (Center of the universe).
